Remembering the good about a lifelong friend

I am compelled to write this letter on behalf of a dear beloved friend of mine. His name is Johnny Walton.

I would like to express what I know firsthand about my friend, Johnny. He was a very giving, generous and considerate husband, father and son, and a great friend.

I know this because I've known him all my life. Before his death, I was fortunate to spend time and many conversations with him. Despite all that he was going through, he still had his great sense of humor.

I just want him to get the credit he truly deserves. He was always there for his family, especially financially.

I pray that he is in a better place and my prayers go out to the Walton family.

Mary Beth Motel,

Hazleton
